Deflation of detachable balloons in the cavernous sinus by percutaneous puncture

JM Jacobs, GD Parker and RI Apfelbaum
Department of Radiology, University of Utah, School of Medicine, Salt Lake City 84132.

The authors show that percutaneous puncture of balloons within the cavernous sinus is technically feasible and allows further access to the cavernous sinus after balloon detachment. Complete closure of a large carotid cavernous fistula was achieved in the 37-year-old trauma victim they treated using this technique.
